Urban Studies and Planning
Student work in the Urban Studies and Planning Program consists of individual research papers, collaboration with faculty members, class projects, and semester-long team studio projects. In the studio projects, students address a particular issue or problem facing a community by talking with stakeholders to clarify the nature of the problem, designing a research strategy, collecting and analyzing a range of information, and presenting an oral and written report containing analyses and recommendations. The locales of these studio projects have been both local (Washington, DC, and Baltimore and other jurisdictions in Maryland) and international (St. Petersburg, Russia, Capetown, South Africa and Mexico City).
